Aurora Grey thought she could win her husband, Lucas Rossi's heart, even if it took years. For three long years, she endured his coldness, hoping that one day he would see her as more than just a convenient substitute. But when she reads the headlines announcing Lucas’s return to the city with his ex-girlfriend, Julia Mayhem, the truth hits her like a dagger—she never had a place in his heart. Lucas's affection had always belonged to Julia, and now that she’s back, Aurora knows her time is up. No longer willing to be the woman in the shadows, Aurora takes control of her fate. With a sharp resolve, she demands a divorce, choosing to reclaim her dignity rather than watch the man she loves cherish someone else. But Lucas Rossi isn’t a man who easily lets go of what he considers his. The moment Aurora steps out of his life, he realizes just how deeply she had entwined herself in his heart. Driven by a need to reclaim what he’s lost, Lucas tracks her down, determined to make her see that she belongs with him—and no one else.
As Aurora continued eating, her thoughts drifted to the pups growing inside her.
A soft smile lingered on her lips, but then her mind wandered to Lucas.
Something about her bond with him had shifted—her body, her wolf, had become more insistent on him.
It was strange, unlike anything she had experienced before.
Her feelings for him had always been there, but now, they seemed to intensify, as though her entire being was tied to him in a way she couldn't explain.
She glanced at Sophia, her curiosity growing. "I don't really remember what happened after the accident," she said, her voice uncertain.
Sophia's expression changed for just a moment—a flicker of something unspoken in her eyes.
She gulped, her fingers tightening on the edge of her scarf before she quickly masked her unease with a forced smile.
"Oh, um..." Sophia cleared her throat, trying to regain her composure. "Don't worry about it."
